Analyses of demographical and injury characteristics of adult and pediatric patients injured in Syrian civil war

The majority of patients were adults, and the most frequent mechanism of injury was blunt trauma. Similarly, the children were substantially affected by war. Although the injury severity score values and mortality rates of the child and adult groups were similar, it was determined that the number of head injuries was higher, but the number of abdomen and extremity injuries was lower in the children's group than in the adult group.
